Health notes
Salt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. However, high sodium intake is linked to increased blood pressure in some individuals. The World Health Organization recommends limiting sodium intake for better cardiovascular health. JECFA has evaluated salt and its components, and EFSA has also assessed sodium and salt's role in the diet. While generally safe in moderation, excessive consumption of sodium from all sources is a public health concern.
